Freelance work is becoming increasingly popular. Thanks to the Internet, more and more businesses are looking to hire freelance workers instead of a full time salaried employee. This way, projects can be done on a case-by-case basis and overhead is cut back. As a freelancer, you can choose to submit samples of your work to different clients. Based on your portfolio, the client may then choose you to work on their project.
Freelancers can do anything from create a logo using their graphic design skills, to programming an entire website, to writing up an advertising or marketing proposal. As a freelancer, you can earn a lump sum for every project you complete. This can be something that takes a few hours or a few months, depending on the deadline that the project needs to be completed as well as the scope of work. A lot of long-term freelance projects can even net you a steady paycheck if the client pays you in phases as the project nears completion.
It can be a bit tough to find freelance work at first, especially if you have not become established in the online community. The online freelance community is quite competitive. There are several large freelance websites where users can register and then submit samples of their work. The clients then choose who they want to work on their project based on the work that they see.
It is definitely recommended that you create a portfolio of some kind in advance before attempting to get freelance work. Think about it this way: would a boss in any company want to hire someone without first seeing a resume and conducting an interview? The same principle applies to online freelancing. Clients want to actually get a feel for how well someone can do the job before they commit to paying them, so be prepared to exhibit your skills accordingly.
